Notably New: Ella's Frozen Yogurt is a family affair

Robert and LaShon Wagner, co-owners of Ella's Frozen Yogurt at 8028 S. Emerson Ave., Suite W, Indianapolis, pose for a photo with their children (left to right) Thomas, Maggie, and Joey. The shop, which offers nearly 40 different flavors, opened on Dec. 6.

? What they do: Ella's Frozen Yogurt offers nearly 40 flavors, from traditional offerings, such as chocolate and country vanilla, to specialties, such as Hershey's Kisses chocolate and Hawaiian pineapple. The company also strives for customer service and a faith-based business model.

? Cool thing we found: Greg and Lorrie Gray opened the original Ella's in Greenwood in March 2011. Family and church friends Robert and LaShon Wagner opened the second location on Indianapolis' Southeastside in December.

? Quote: "This is something my husband and I can do together that our children can be a part of. Plus, yogurt is on the healthier side of a dessert, and this is a way we can be a part of our community." - LaShon Wagner.
